First week of school

I just want you to know that you were loved. God loves you.

I am not perfect you know. Don`t see me as the One who is coming down the clouds of fire from above.  Because you`ll be disappointed.  I am a mere mortal who is learning to be more like Him who gives you life. And I want to love others better.

School has started since Monday and what a good way to end this week with a nice inspiring song.

My timetable is cool. Wed I am free!! which means I actually have 2 “weekends” in my week!  I know God loves me:)

And my classes are jumled all over as usual.  Sad that I cuoldn`t see my old friends in my old classes anymore. But of course I am excited to get to know even more new friends. Now I feel like I know the entire BZE cohort! That explains why I am so shy when I am in school. Cos everybody knows me. That is not something very good if you really think about it. Haha

Just now thanks to my Supply Chain lecturer, I became even more famous.

This is what happened.

When I came into her lecture justnow, she raised her voice and using a microphone she said, “Eii handsome, come in la! “

Then I was like, “oh ok…” shyly…and ppl started to laugh and giggle, especially the girls. lol

Then she cheekily added, “…Wah…rich man son ahh…from indonesia one…..”

I was like, “How on earth does she know so much about me?” I am not close to her at all. Haha. And she remembers my name?  goodness gracious!

And people was like, ” hihihihi” omg…I became super red instantly, but thanks to the good skincare products I used in Sephora, my face was not as red as before now.  lol

Haiz….now everyone really knows me….

Sunday before sch starts clearly sucks. Just let u know ppl.

My time table is kindda cool. I just hate the 8 am class on mon! argh!!

And dun burden me with any more problems, lord…ahhhhh

I must settle this before sch starts. I trust in you.

WORKING life

Work in Sephora ION was fun!!

these are the few things that I like about my work:

1. The staff are quite friendly and there is no individual sales target to pressurise me. (even though I enjoy such challenge in sales with commission of course!)

2. I can try all the 99 brands there including skincare and fragrances. Slather it on your hand, wash your face with the cleansing milk or use the toner or eye cream, basically anything! =DD

3. I get to bring them home! Well, not in the full product of course. But in little jars that you can fill up with your very own choice of samples from any shelves! ( U can too if you come as a customer! hint hint

4. I get to get my hands on the latest and the most happening skin care products as well as fragrances.

5. I get to learn many valuable tips and facts about the sales industry as well as the vast beauty industry. (Gain some knowledge and experience!)

6. I can get some skin care and makeup tips from the many beauty advisors I have there. (of cos I dun do makeup myself! But now I can recommend customers products and strike any conversation with the girls about make up and skin care more confidently!

7. I get to wander around the whole store just like a customer looking and browsing through the many brands they carry without anxiety of being followed by another beauty advisor! haha

I am having Bike Lag now. Similar to jet lag. Can`t sleep tonite siols cos I came back from that cycling expedition this morning tired and shagged. Then I slept as soon as I have finished showering and woke up at 2. Going cg soon…see u Lemmy

Nite cycling expedition.

I have been procastinating about writing a REAL blog entry these few weeks. Many things have happened. For those who are still in the doubt, let me just update you with little snippets of my “new” life recently. Heee

I finally returned back to my EX. LOL! dun think so much! EX-Shepherd la!! yup yup, you guys can say that I am like his lost sheep which finally come back home after a perilous journey of self discovery. It feels like Home coming! For the first time since January this year, I finally feel at home again! thanks Lemmuel, you`re my first and the last. I will never feel more at home in church without you. Let`s do great things for Him.

Nich, don`t get me wrong.. you have been a great shepherd, CL and friend also. I will always remember the times we had and the harsh things you said to me that often irritate my heart! lol. Thanks. I know u meant good to me when u said those hurtful and bitter things sometimes. Maybe I should say, I prefer sweet white chocolate to bitter dark chocolate even though we know the bitter dark chocolate is better for health most of the time. And I know what God wants me to do. I cannot get misdirected. So thanks for those bitter sweet memories. Good luck with your goal of hitting 15. I am sure the Good Lord will bless you as long as it`s according to his will. hee

So….let me start by blogging about the TPGuys nite cycling expedition last night!

We started our perilous journey to the south (East Coast) at 10 pm after waiting for the rest of us to arrive. There were fifteen of us altogether. And I was so excited to be able to bring my friend, Andy to join us too. After dinner and some “waiting” we finally set forth.

The road that we travelled on was so smooth, unlike those in Pulau Ubin where I had my Nite Cycling trip not long ago also. It was very windy and the sky was very dark. We depended only on the lights that emanated from the moon and our bicycle blinking red lights. Suddenly………………………………………………………………………….I fell!! Ouch!!! my shoulder was bruised and my hands were also stained with blood and dirt. Why could this happen to me??? ARGHH!!! pain seeped through my veins as I struggled to keep myself up on the ground, pretending as if nothing had happened. I smiled as people passed by me like wind spirits. Jesus suffered much more than this, I thought to myself and I loved the pain. It made me feel more macho and Man suddenly. The feeling of pain. Suffering. Even If it is only for a while.

We cycled for a total of approximately six hours.

We started at Pasir Ris Park, passing through the concrete jungle that made up Tampines. Through Pasir Ris, we travelled towards Tampines Interchange, passing through people`s houses and empty void decks. Then we took the bus 65 route to Bedok Reservoir! Passed by a few people`s houses that I knew. Oh, the feeling…so carefree as the cool wind blew our hairs as we cajoled in our very own camaderie.

Thankfully, my friend brought his very own set of radio to accompany us through the night! The sound of blasting music filled the void and silent night as we passed through parks and empty streets.

Soon, after much “Are we there yet?” we caught a glimpse of East Coast Park. We had our rest at Macd. The park was totally quiet and I felt so at one with the nature for the very first time in a few months. We rested and ate for a while even though we were too excited to eat. It was 2 am for God`s sake!

Soon, we were on our way to Changi. Boy, the sight that really captivated my mind as we cycled right beside the Changi Airport runway, was the sight of passenger airlines touching down and taking off at full view. It was beautiful. Fed Ex dc-10, Korean Airlines and Japan Airlines to name a few and of course plenty of SIA of course! I would want to bring my dad there one day soon. Plane activity at night was surprisingly high. And the new path that the government has recently built which joins East Coast Park and Changi Village together was totally unexpectedly awesome!

Soon after much sight seeing, and aching ass, we reached Changi Village! We had dinner there. And I was content with just two pratas. Then … the perilous journey back to Pasir Ris Park began.

And now, I am happy to be back home. Oh, gotta go for cg soon peeps, see ya!!

ARGHHH singtel, starhub, I kill you !!

Today I learnt about a very irritating fact that you all should know.

Let me warn you. The next time you thought your gf/bf or even best friend doesn`t sms you in the morning, don`t start screaming and being depressed, etc. It is not their fault. But the phone provider! For this, I hate singtel. I hate starhub and I hate handphones/smses!!! Relationship destroyer la really…

I got this kind of experience before with a friend. I was waiting for his sms in the morning…..and guess what.

The sms never came…..

untilll  I was getting ready to go for the….. suddenly beep beep …and it`s like 7 pm at night!! Holy cow!!! curse the service provider. I dunno what exactly is wrong. Is it his hp with it`s very full inbox or just the lousy service provide. Or is it just my hp??? OR is it me?? HAHAHAHA. I am paranoid. I am crazy.

The next time u have something important to relay, dun sms. CALL

SMS can KILL. And I mean it!

just a thought.

Food for thought.

moving …lorry….sweat….bond

These few weeks were the most gruelling and tiring but also the most exciting ever!!

At least helping someone in need is a great blessing. And it feels good to be able to contribute and show how much that person is worth to you.

Moving out is no easy business. Not mentioning the trouble of finding a new abode.

That set aside, the packing and moving process is a killer.

You have to clean up the old house and pack ur things into boxes to make sure that nothing is left behind. And that could take 2 full days! Cleaning is the norm in between these tasks.

First day of packing: Packed lots of things, folding of clothes and stuff. The night was cool and pitch dark. No tennants, just spirits. Fan blowing at full speed and music banging loud in the back ground. The spirit of moving house.. could feel so alone if you`re alone.

Second day: Afternoon spent some great quality time together. Shifting started at night. Lots and lots of sweat. As if in bondage. So hot. The broken box is the killer. Poor Tian. My back ached. Sitting on the back of the lorry for the second time besides during that polydins camp in march. It was really cool. Feel carefree for the first time in life.

Arrived at the new abode. It was really cool. Aircon, nice ppl. I hope you`re happy there, TM.
